It's an acquired taste like so much low carb food! Although over the years I've got used to it.

I've started taking Kimchi (a form of fermented vegetables with lots of prebiotics) since last Friday. I take around 100g - 130g a day and my BGs seem to be going down although it's far too early to draw conclusions as to how strong the correlation is between Kimchi and the effect it may have on...

10st 12 1/2 lbs up 1lb No surprise as my food consumption was a bit up with a naughty brunch at my local church hall on Wednesday!

I've been having my last meal mostly 7pm - 8pm and sometimes a bit after 8pm for the last five days or so. It seems to have a stabilising effect on my Bgs but too early to draw conclusions plus I've not been on the exercises bike for at least a few days because of the hot weather. Fortunately...

Can Free Libre 2 plus be inserted on the belly? I use Dexcom One Plus and I put it on my belly close to my belly button. This cuts down the chances of it getting pressed on.

Type 2s sometimes take insulin as part of the therapy.

That reminds me of the old joke: Diabetic niece to diabetic uncle "Uncle, what's the best thing to eat?" Uncle: "That's simple - if it tastes good spit it out!"

In my experience Gliclazide alone won't keep bgs down. I'm on a very low carb diet which in addition to Gliclazide helps. If I forget to take the med then my bgs shoot up pretty quickly. As has been said there could be a myriad of reasons why your bgs have risen. T2 diabetes behaves in a non...

I eat about max 10g carbs per meal because I'm very insulin resistant. I used to eat four meals a day but have cut down that to three meals a day. The easiest way for me to do this is to have my last meal 7pm to 8pm. I made my own list of low carb foods by looking at the net carbs not the total...

10st 11.5lbs I usually weigh around 10st 10.5lbs to 10st 13.5lbs. Weight is almost the same as in my late 20s when I was around 10st 7lbs

I stopped eating after 7-8pm a few days ago. Not any discernible difference in BGs but that's ok as not having something to eat before bedtime has cut down my meals to 3 a day and also gives me a 12 hour fast. I haven't had any real hunger issues and I usually take a glass of zero carb soya...

I was thinking of doing that but as the recipe is from a book I was worried if I posted it publicly it might infringe copyright although from I what I've read copyright of recipes is a difficult area. I also read that if one changes the recipe a little then there are no copyright issues.

GI has rarely worked for me. If you PM me I can send you a recipe for bread rolls made from psyllium husks and flax meal and come in at around 3.1g per roll. They are quite fluffy and tasty.

Not testing for blood glucose is like flying an airplane without navigation aids.
